  32  \subsection*{Continuous random variables}
  33
  34  A continuous random variable \(X\) has a pdf \(f\) such that:
  35
  36  \begin{enumerate}
  37    \item \(f(x) \ge 0 \forall x \)
  38    \item \(\int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx = 1\)
  39  \end{enumerate}
  40
  41  \[ \Pr(X \le c) = \int^c_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx \]
  42
  43  \subsubsection*{Linear functions \(X \rightarrow aX+b\)}
  44
  45  \begin{align*}
  46    \Pr(Y \le y) &= \Pr(aX+b \le y) \\
  47    &= \Pr\left(X \le \dfrac{y-b}{a}\right) \\
  48    &= \int^{\frac{y-b}{a}}_{-\infty} f(x) \> dx
  49  \end{align*}
  50
  51  \begin{align*}
  52    \textbf{Mean:} && \operatorname{E}(aX+b) & = a\operatorname{E}(X)+b \\
  53    \textbf{Variance:} && \operatorname{Var}(aX+b) &= a^2 \operatorname{Var}(X) \\
  54  \end{align*}

  57
  58  \begin{align*}
  59    \textbf{Mean:} && \operatorname{E}(aX+bY) & = a\operatorname{E}(X)+b\operatorname{E}(Y) \\
  60    \textbf{Variance:} && \operatorname{Var}(aX+bY) &= a^2 \operatorname{Var}(X) + b^2 \operatorname{Var}(Y) \tag{if \(X\) and \(Y\) are independent}\\

  65  Approximation of the \textbf{population mean} determined experimentally.
  66
  67  \[ \overline{x} = \dfrac{\Sigma x}{n} \]

  83
  84  \[ \overline{X} = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} = \dfrac{\sum x}{n} \]
  85
  86  Sample mean is distributed with mean \(\mu\) and sd \(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\) (approaches these values for increasing sample size \(n\)).
  87
  88  For a new distribution with mean of \(n\) trials, \(\operatorname{E}(X^\prime) = \operatorname{E}(X), \quad \operatorname{sd}(X^\prime) = \dfrac{\operatorname{sd}(X)}{\sqrt{n}}\)

 143  \section{Central limit theorem}
 144
 145  If \(X\) is randomly distributed with mean \(\mu\) and sd \(\sigma\), then with an adequate sample size \(n\) the distribution of the sample mean \(\overline{X}\) is approximately normal with mean \(E(\overline{X})\) and \(\operatorname{sd}(\overline{X}) = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\).
 146
 147  \section{Confidence intervals}
 148
 149  \begin{itemize}
 150    \item \textbf{Point estimate:} single-valued estimate of the population mean from the value of the sample mean \(\overline{x}\)
 151    \item \textbf{Interval estimate:} confidence interval for population mean \(\mu\)
 152  \end{itemize}
 153
 154  \subsection*{95% confidence interval}
 155
 156  \[ \left( \overline{x} \pm 1.96 \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \]
 157
 158  where: \\
 159  \(\mu\) is the population mean (unknown) \\
 160  \(\overline{x}\) is the sample mean \\
 161  \(\sigma\) is the population sd \\
 162  \(n\) is the sample size from which \(\overline{x}\) was calculated
 163
 164  Always express \(z\) as +ve. Express confidence \textit{interval} as ordered pair.

 171  \subsection*{Interpretation of confidence intervals}
 172
 173  95% confidence interval \(\implies\) 95% of samples will contain population mean \(\mu\).
 174
 175  \subsection*{Margin of error}
 176
 177  For 95% confidence interval for \(\mu\), margin of error \(M\) is:
 178
 179  \begin{align*}
 180    M &= 1.96 \times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \\
 181    \implies n &= \left( \dfrac{1.96 \sigma}{M} \right)^2
 182  \end{align*}
 183
 184  \subsection*{General case}
 185
 186  A confidence interval of \(C\)% is given by
 187
 188  A 95% confidence interval for \(\mu\) will have \(M\) when
 189  \[ \overline{x} \pm k \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} \]
 190
 191  where \(k\) is such that \(\Pr(-k < Z < k) = \frac{C}{100}\)
